suggestions from square one, sortta

I dove in, perhaps too soon, and got a MMF 2.2 turntable.

and right now, I've got a $70 used Pioneer receiver (vsx-d209) and a set of JBL speakers that came with it.

basically, I wanna hear some records the day my MMF arrives in the mail! but, i know nothing about this stuff. (the MMF purchase was kinda implusive)

ideally, i'd like a setup that includes a computer line in/out so I can send the source around the house, a CD player (which i don't have), and my new turntable.

just dont know enough to know to even ask at this stage, but ready to learn?

thanks for reading and thanks for your help.

Hi Red,

Best wishes with your venture! I believe you're already facing one roadblock: I don't think your receiver has a phono input. So unless you get a separate phono preamplifier real quick, you won't be able to use your MMF when you get it. Turntables/cartridges put out very low signals and need to be boosted, unlike CD players and other sources.

Look at sites like the Needle Doctor, Music Direct, Audio Advisor and Acoustic Sounds under "phono preamps" to see what's available. Sorry to give you what's probably bad news!
